The basic assumption in biological oceanography – and in GLOBEC – is that physical forcing at a wide range of space and time scales determines most of the dynamics of marine populations. This has been very productive and provides the global context for GLOBEC and other programmes. How far can it take us in the future; and, alternatively, what role is played by community interactions?
